Janie and Rachael were absolutely a joy to work with and they landed me in my first home (and dream…read morehome)! They really listened to what I was looking for, were cognizant of my financial limitations yet allowed me to dream big, and were so patient in answering my thousands of questions as a first-time home buyer. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be able to buy a house in this economy (much less in Tahoe), and yet Janie found "the one" for me and helped me navigate such a complicated process with grace and patience. Even my neighbors knew how great she was, as she helped them buy their homes, too. I've been in my house for over a year now and I'm just as thankful and giddy as Day 1. Even after buying the home, Janie and her team have been helpful -- recommending trusted handymen, plow services, designers, and other local workers over the past year. Highly recommend the whole Sharp team for anyone and everyone looking for a home in Tahoe!

She is a fantastic communicator and always goes above and beyond for her clients. We just purchased a home in Truckee and this is the fourth transaction we've done with Kristi and we couldn't have been happier with the process. I have done more than 25 real estate transactions in my life and I always trust Kristi and her team to do things exceptionally well and help make the transaction as smooth as possible. I also want to shout out Rachael as well. Rachael was absolutely amazing and helped through the entire transaction and beyond. They are a fantastic asset to the Truckee community and if you're looking to buy or sell, Kristi is your Realtor! We have bought and sold with her and I enjoy the process every time.

I was a first-time homebuyer and the thought of buying my own house came with a lot of…read moreapprehension. My apprehension was quickly put to rest when I first contacted Amy regarding buying a house. Amy was prompt in responding and set up an initial meeting to ask me about my requirements. In our first meeting, Amy explained that she runs her real estate business with her mom, Janet and her dad, Jerry - together known as The Wallin Team. After meeting with the Wallins, I left with the feeling that I have made a right choice to have them help me search for my dream home. The Wallins bring professionalism and knowledge to the table along with their friendly smile and expert advice on real estate. From the very beginning, the Wallins maintained an open and prompt line of communication. All of my questions were answered by one of the Wallins within 1-2 hours via text or email. The Wallins were ready to meet me for showings within hours of notice and made me their priority. Though I am sure they had several other clients they were working with, they always made me feel as if I am their priority. What impressed me the most was how well they treated me and how passionately all three of them got involved in my search for a dream house. Janet did a great job explaining each of the steps in details and exceeding my expectations in terms of the timeline. The Wallins had prepared a binder that was broken down in easy to understand section explaining the process and methodology of a house buying process. This was a very helpful resource. They took a lot of hassle and headache out for me as we moved along the process and Amy even came in on her birthday for the house inspection just to ensure all goes smoothly. My house closed on time and without any roadblocks. Thanks to their amazing guidance throughout the process. The Wallins offer one-of-a-kind service and now, I have new-found appreciation for real estate agents. I can't thank Janet and the Wallins enough for making one of the biggest steps in my life such a seamless process. I highly recommend their Real Estate services and expertise. Thanks again for everything you guys did for me and my family. I would definitely be recommending my friends and family to your team.

Carrie, and her associate Stacey Berger, are an awesome realty team! We used Carrie to purchase our…read morefirst home back in 2015 when the local market was just starting to get really crazy. Being first time home buyers, we had no idea what to expect but Carrie was super helpful throughout the whole process and so patient! She put up with my incessant calling and questions and was always quick to move on scheduling a house tour--and if she wasn't available Stacey was--we always got into homes the day of or next morning of our request, which is absolutely key in a hot market! We probably looked at at least 15 homes and I was honestly near giving up because home buying is a seriously exhausting process in a sellers market, but Carrie thankfully insisted we continue on--because she knew prices were only continuing to rise--and showed us some homes in an awesome neighborhood I had never even seen before. And finally after 15 or some home tours we decided to put in our first ever offer on a house in that neighborhood ...and we got it! We absolutely have Carrie to thank for that because there were multiple competing offers and she helped us make our offer more competitive to the seller. We never felt pressured by our realtor(s) during the whole buying process and always felt the Kester-Berger team was on our side. Carrie really helped us figure out what we wanted since we really had no idea going in and I appreciated her straight forward attitude. She also knew a lot about home repairs/conditions which was invaluable when looking at homes. Carrie even helped us resolve some outstanding seller repair issues well after closing which was very appreciated! We will definitely be using them again if we ever decide to sell--although we absolutely love our home still so don't expect to be selling anytime soon!

At each step in the process Liza Bradley was committed to excellence. She will sell your home…read morequickly, but you must trust her. I typically do not write reviews, but the outstanding service I received from my Realtor, Liza Bradley, calls for an exception. I'm a consultant and live in New Mexico. So when my mother moved to Europe and tasked me to put her Reno house on the market, the task of selling her home felt daunting, until I met Liza, that is. Liza, who grew up in the Reno area, is an extremely friendly and positive person and understands Reno real estate. I consider myself fortunate that she accepted the challenge to change my preconceived and outdated notions of the steps involved in putting a home on the market. Liza helped me understand that, for a home to sell without lingering on the market indefinitely, I would have to trust HER to properly price the home based on her extensive market research and extraordinary experience, and show the home move-in ready, meaning: - All unnecessary furniture, personal property, and yard clutter is removed. - A home inspection is performed to identify any issues that could potentially derail a pending offer. - All repairs deemed necessary by Liza are completed and documented. - A fresh coat of paint is applied where Liza feels it is necessary. -The home is professionally cleaned. - The timing for putting the home on the market is appropriate. Liza and her colleague spent an entire day shopping for plants and items to highlight the potential of the home. This went far above and beyond providing merely curb appeal. I now understood why she suggested to delay putting the home on the market until Memorial Day. The neighborhood had awoken from a long winter, meaning the lawns were a lush green, the trees in my yard and in the neighborhood were in full bloom, and it wasn't too cold or too hot for the beautiful flowers she planted. Liza's hard work and perfect timing for putting the home on the market resulted in over five offers on the first day of showing the home, and additional competitive offers the following day. This is when Liza's negotiation skills became invaluable. She guided me through the offers and sacrificed evenings with her family to help me understand and accept the best offer based on buyer qualifications. To sum it up, Liza's real estate knowledge and experience, combined with her professional and patient approach, turned what could have been a stressful event into a smooth and financially successful process. I highly recommend Liza and her team to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services.

From the start, I wanted to make sure I had the right person by my side. In our very first meeting, I asked her a long list of tough questions about the Reno and Somersett real estate markets to see if she really knew her stuff. Not only did she have thoughtful, thorough answers to every single one, but she also explained things in a way that made me feel confident and informed. What stood out to me most throughout the process was Whitney's responsiveness and professionalism. Anytime I had a question -- whether it was a quick text or a detailed call -- she got back to me right away. I never felt like I was in the dark or waiting around for answers. Her knowledge of the local market, her strategic advice on pricing and presentation, and her ability to navigate a market that currently favors buyers were all invaluable. She guided me through every decision with honesty and patience, and I always felt she had my best interests in mind. In the end, Whitney delivered exactly what I needed: a successful sale above list price in a tough market. If you're looking for an agent who is prepared, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in her clients' success, I would wholeheartedly recommend Whitney!
